Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
The Global Supply Manager drives the strategic supply network development and cost management of Anduril’s product hardware, across their lifecycles, by collaborating with suppliers and cross-functionally, including folks in engineering, quality, and manufacturing.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
Conduct supplier selection for a specific product, leveraging our approved supplier list. Partner with strategic suppliers to accelerate product development via activities such as:
Concept scoping to quickly solidify requirements. Feature trade-off / trade tables. Should cost / Clean sheet models. Joint design development, via clear statements of work. Simulation of mechanical & electronics designs.
Drive the development and consolidation of a manufacturing BOM, working with Quality & Manufacturing, to ramp production internally and with our suppliers with high flexibility. Manage the CAPEX throughout NPI. Conduct value-stream mapping to optimize supply network lead time and flexibility. Complete the BOM risk assessment, including alternate component sourcing, etc. Ensure completion of all component qualifications, ahead of production. Reduce complexity: commonality optimization & component/supplier rationalization. Lead all cost engineering activities to converge the bottoms-up cost curve to product cost, maximizing the total cost of ownership (TCO) across the product lifecycle. Manage ad-hoc cost issues e.g., tariffs / import export cost, and cost inflation. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Ideally has background within:
Design & development of electronics and/or mechanical devices. Advanced sourcing activities, including stints as commodity/sourcing managers. Supplier development (technology, process, supply chain, etc.). Early supplier engagement, ahead of product/engineering requirement realization.
Domain expertise must include value/procurement engineering or TCO-related work at the component & product level. Familiarity with developing high-tech products in a high-mix, low-volume environment. Some exposure working in a start-up environment. Bachelor’s degree in engineering (BSME, BSEE) or other related technical degree. Advanced technical degree or MBA strongly preferred. Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
